Every year when the nominations for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame are announced there is a bunch of people whine and complain that their favorite band or artist wasn't nominated. Old guys always complain because a rapper got nominated or some doofus thinks that there is some sort of leftist bias (These are usually Ted Nugent fans). The point is we're lucky to have a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame at all and should realize eventually your favorite will get in.
There was some controversy with some over the choice of Small Faces/Faces. Some complain that they didn't have enough hits (Small Faces had one T-40 hit, while Faces technically had two T-40 hits). The complaint coming from keyboardist Ian McLagen is that each incarnation should go in separately because they are two different bands. Either way, I'm present the evidence as to WHY they were nominated on both sides. First, the original 60s Steve Marriott version with "All Or Nothing" (Also check out footage on You Tube of Small Faces doing "Tin Soldier" with P.P Arnold, who I didn't realize was so attractive). Followed by the 70s Rod Stewart/Ron Wood line up doing their T-40 hit cover version of the Temptations "I Know I'm Losing You."
